Beginning with the techno-utopian ’90s and that era’s fervent belief that computers could positively reshape democracy and power, Curtis‘ engaging new series of films goes on to examine how technology has enveloped us in a loveless digital dragnet of ubiquitous surveillance, flash crashes and way too much information.

Judging from All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace‘s surreal image juxtapositions and edgy sonics from artists like Angelo Badalamenti, Nine Inch Nails and Stereo Total, Curtis’ new documentary series will likely feel similar to his astounding previous projects The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares.

Check out some clips from Curtis’ documentaries in the video gallery above. Then let us know in the comments section if you’re already a fan of his cerebral work, or just now digging into his back catalog.
